Lemmy.world is fantastic, thanks for your efforts. It fit perfectly with all the criteria I had when choosing where to host my account.
That being said, I wish Lemmy.ml, the "main" Lemmy instance, more often registered communities created here. At the moment, most people just search for communities there and many of our own don't show up because no user from that instance interacted with our new and growing communities just yet - not only does this create a fragmentation issue, but given the massive load spike, Lemmy.ml is actually running a bit slow whereas Lemmy.world is handling posts better, making interaction easier specially when migrating users from Reddit or other places. For instance, my GameBoy community is ready, with users, and I'm about to post some good content - but as far as someone from Lemmy.ml is concerned, no such community exists.
My take on this is that we have to remember how much this massive influx of users has been the last few days. Significantly more than its entire history. There is also the learning curve of new users. I think as people start getting a handle on how the fediverse works this will be less of an issue. Overtime this should work itself out. My two cents anyway. BTW also just subbed to c/Gameboy ;)
I don't even see any posts from .ml most of the time when I browse for all communities either. They feel bit separate, don't they?
lemmy.ml is having massive infra issues because it was one of the more linked-to instances in the past. I think it'll probably start easing up now that other instances are soaking users up.
Well, when I search for a community, the results span servers, so I can find and join wherever. It is possible the search feature only includes servers previously referenced, I don't know.
If no one has joined that community before you need to search it with the format
!community@instanceSo how to we solve this? Create a user on .ml and subscribe to the .world community? Or is it enough to just search it up once to it "sees" the other community?
I can't seem to get [email protected] to work from lemmy.ml either so 🤷🏻♂️
You only need one account on one instance (except if you’re trying to access something that’s blocked).
Just to confirm, you’re putting that in the search bar? Make sure to wait a few seconds; it might say “no results” at first before it finds it.
Once a person does that and joins, everyone else on lemmy.ml should be able to find mycommunity
I tried looking up this community as well from a couple of different instances and it's not showing up.
Looking up lemmyworld works for me, but norge doesn’t. I have no idea then. Maybe the servers are overloaded now.
undefined> norge
was there a solution to norge? I'm trying to subscribe to it from SDF but I can't find it
also everything is so damn slow right now, it's taking me 5 minutes to reply to you
Hace you tried with the full url? https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld that have worked for me every time. But sometimes is it a bit slower
That's not working either it seems.
I tried to look for norge on lemmy.ml and it’s not showing up for me either
Maybe it hasn’t synced yet? I don’t know, try later I guess 🫤
